nunya Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Great route! We climbed it in the fall of 2002. Climbing well at the time so it was doable for the grade. Good pro, lots of fun pitches and a great line. The crux for me was the first fifteen feet of the 12a pitch- the 5-11 slab traverse. The bolts in the face gave courage- thanks Burdo.

DirtyHarry Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Wow. Hardmen coming out of the woodwork. Â I've heard varying things about this route, that its primarily 11a with some hard 11 in one or two spots. Also heard its consistent hard 11 with some 12. What are your opinions? Â Regardless, it seems worth doing, even for a non 5.12 climber like me, since good pro and good rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I would say mostly 11a with some hard 11. The hard spots are bolted or good pro at your waist. The 12a is more like hard 11 and its only a few thin moves to good holds. I imagine the 12a rating felt right at the time when they were on steep unexplored terrain. This climb is definitely worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
